Interesting. This seems to clearly show that the crash is an Apple problem
in Foundation framework, not Rb's.

no it doesn't, unless you're vastly better at interpreting logs than I (something I humbly admit is possible ;-).


What is far more likely is a bug in RB code similar to that described in the following, which took me all of bout 30 seconds curiosity looking at the logfile and Googling
NSColorPanel crash


http://wilshipley.com/blog/2005/07/self-stupid-init.html
"...if you allocate a second NSColorPanel, you've done wrong. Your code is not correct. FURTHER, if you just blithely go on with your init method after the superclass has returned a different object, you are likely to leak objects at best and crash at worst...."

or, plausibly

http://www.abisource.com/changelogs/2.2.6.phtml
"Fix" crash to do with NSColorPanel not noticing its target has vanished (MacOSX, bug 8637)"

or, talking about Carbon and Cocoa integration:

"...Also, we need to be sure to NEVER EVER call a
GetColor routine (along with PickColor or NPickColor) or it will crash
the app."
